yeah thats the face of a tree being buggered
-
im thinking skip the driveway and consider some sort of temp surface. metal sheeting or hardened plastic? maybe a woodchip run to spare the root system, im sure such ideas wouldnt need planning permission? (but i dunno ive never done planning for a driveway)

Is it worth running a 12inch + chipper for large domestic / Commercial
manco replied to Clutchy's topic in General chat
worth it? probably not. fun? yes. easier? yes. its like hitting every tree with a 881 on a 30inch bar. no job too small. no saw too big. -
find an honest politician. that should take you a while
-
on the plus side, at least youre not clogging up the roads slowing down real motorists while you amble from place to place in your bus
-
cut it and keep it as a short spare line or a dog lead

what he said

well i aint eatin it anyway after its been in that dirty-ass hand.

ive had all sorts. everyone will swear by their own opinion. the best boots ever are haix protector forest. and protector pro. and meindl woodwalker. and zamberlan. and pfanner... etc. you get the idea. very few of us have jumped around different boots i think pfanner zermatts are ok but expensive haix timber were supposed to be designed specifically as a climbing boot the original protector pro are belter, once theyrre worn in. theyre what i favour, or the new timber which ive not tried yet.

millions of little ****************ing tiny spiders everywhere in every stand!! and all over my car. second that about the card-only food. smaller than previous shows i think?
-
oops, just missed the big show where you could look at loads of different boots all in one place and try them on

ya cant cut trees in the buff. thats just not gonna be comfortable where the sawdust gets.
-
enjoy the heat, cos before long its gonna be pissing down. put some soft padding on the sweat band.

ask buxtons if you can stick a note in their shop
-
wasnt it the PFJ?
-
or just the ones who dont mind doing that and then admitting theyve done it? i might say committed rather than sophisticated
-
its just the shape it came off the rolled up roll of wire fencing you mean? its a fair point. i need to find some duct tape strips cos the only stuff i can find comes on a round roll so i cant use it on a straight surface. 🤦♂️
-
mostly seem to have a higher feed chute than a towbehind. means lifting branches higher to load in. thats about all ive got to say about that
-
why wouldnt you just leave the pallet square and put your cage on it? why make it round? seems like hard work you dont need to do
-
i like the idea of a check-table of chip weight, but i fear it wooden work
-
i think youre all forgetting the amount of fuel in your truck, the kit youve left in it when you go to tip, the size of the driver, any rain falling while driving to tip (mentioned above), dirt on tires, dirt in weighbridge, and the small-mindedness of the jobsworth that pulls over a carefully driven working truck thats just trying to make a reasonable living and not zooming around the place overloaded and spilling woodchip on roundabouts. the only way to be really safe is with a half load. or lots of trips and weighing so experience can tell you almost exactly whats a 90% load. down to 0.2 of a ton could be a difference of a couple of decent branches.

these days, occifers hurty feelings probably

fill it to the nipples and tell the filth to go catch a burglar

yaknow what, thats the pathetic way things are. as you say the scum that are looting a shop would actually claim compo for the beating they take off shop staff and im willing to bet they would get it too
